Curious why you have your pots tarped? Have you ever had problems with it going anaerobic? Do you mulch your beds... from seed in 2014 is my goal. My buddy says seeds yield double, is this your experience as well?

12' from center. I wish I had room for 12' from edge of pot. It is going to get crowded in this garden.

The tarps are for rain. It's been raining the last few days. I hate shoveling wet dirt. I still have to amend these pots. So I have a lot of work ahead of me.

I was lucky to get the garden in before the rain started again. Its soggy out their now.

I don't mulch.
Not sure what your yield is with clones but seeds will yield more.
A lot contributes to yield.
This is a formula for success. I should wring a book 'The 10 pot commandments".

I only run seed starts.
I killed it last year with mendoseeds. I really like their gear. I like supporting locals.

BIG UP 707!

Some nice weather! What kind of soil are you mixing those amendments into?

 

[mendo420]

The Weather cleared up this week yes. Been Shoveling like MAD.
Could use some laborers but I'll get it all done buy myself.

This season I went with Humboldt Mix, 2.5 yard totes from Humboldt Nutrients.
I did not want to deal with 800 bags of dirt. 25 totes worked out nicely.
Mixed with 2 yards of used soil and amended. Soil looks good.

The 800 gallons are 4.5 yards or 125 square feet!

Its going to ba a party!

 

[mendo420]

All Natural and ORGANIC! is the way to go.

HO-LEE-SHIT those girls are going to be swimming in those huge bags.

I'll be keeping an eye on this thread throughout. Really can't wait to see how big they will grow to.
Have you got a chainsaw handy for harvest time?

 

[mendo420]

I'm swimming in these swimming pools! I mean pots.

 

[mendo420]

getting it done.

hoop house up and running, pots amended, 250 seed starts trans planted!

Things look great! especially those 800's!

Finally

Now just waiting for it to cook in the pots and ill transplant around May 10th.

With this amazing weather everyone is anxious and planting around here.
I hope the eager beavers don't get pre-flowers.

That is craaaazy. How long do the plants have to veg before they fill those up?

How much money do you have to spend on soil? I guess you can get pretty good deals when buying that much.

 

[mendo-local]

looking good!

 

[The Bling]

LOL @ pots that big

 

[mendo420]

the plants veg for about 5-6 months come end of july.
They will be Huge!

The soil was $360 a tote 2.5 yards.
I used 25 totes + amendments + used soil = back ache.
over 12k in soil and 3k in smart pots.
Needless to say they love me at the store.

If you don't put up now it wont pay off later.

 

[mendo420]

the 400's ready to go! It was a good day that day. No more digging!!!!

 

[mendo420]

I'm going to grow Mendocino's Avenue of the GIANTS!
